I'm so glad I have really good virus protection on my PC. I accidently typed in errorref and not error-ref in my address bar. I got redirected to the site below along with four or five attempted trojan attacks at the same time.

Here's the message from Norton

Malicious Site Blocked! You attempted to access:https://securityscanpro.com/index.php?sub2=US This webpage is a known malicious webpage. It is highly recommended that you do NOT visit this page.

I was able to close the page and didn't have any damage to my system.

*** Edited by Staff - Broke the link to the bad site. ***

Great to hear! The internet can be very dangerous nowadays if used wrongly

And THAT is why you always need to have good software protection on your device, or at least a system that triggers a warning to let you know to get off the site.

This is why it's always safer to google than navigate to the webpage directly. The page rank algorithm protects you from ever even seeing most of these sites.
